The last birthday entry (I swear!)
So my birthday rocked. Knight's was the perfect place for it. I never realized how fun waterslides are till this weekend. We went late (5, when the park closed at 7) so there were a minimal amount of children. They had this new slide that was just a giant V and you had to ride it in pairs and sit spread eagled so it was totally gay when Matt and I rode it the first time but the drop on it is so steep that for like half a second the tube you're riding on is totally airborn. And since Matt and I weigh a combined 350lbs+, we almost went shooting over the edge and into the freeway on the return upwards. It was terrifying and great. Oh and we were all like twice the age of the half of the people there and half the age of the other half. There was NO ONE our age there.
And then we went to Chris's and got pizza from Leo's and watched my bootleg copy of the Family Guy movie. I missed most of it when I went to pick up the pizza but what I saw was pretty funny. Mike and Crystal (whom we invited for comedic relief) brought a third person and their child and ate a bunch of the pizza and then left without even contributing to the pizza fund. That was totally tasteless and they won't be invited to any of my parties anymore. But then we all played Geist multiplayer games of Ghost vs. Host and that was insane fun. Definitely worth the cost of the game even if there were only 2 maps (at least only two that I unlocked) for GvH and ghosts are totally overpowered.
And I got some neat stuff out of it. Matt got me the Akira soundtrack. Lauri got me this INSANE looking knife. Mom got me nice new headphones and a titanium thumb drive and the first boxset of Gantz. Chris and Amanda got me some army figures as a gag gift and said their real gift was on the way and I'd get it this weekend when they come down here.
Overall this was probably one of the best birthdays I've had so thanks to everyone who was there and everyone who said happy birthday.
In other news, I got Killzone from Circuit City for $15 and it's a weiner. It's like they smashed sci-fi, World War I warfare, and World War II imagery into a competant FPS. The difficulty is kind of rough but that's probably because I'm playing with a PS2 gamepad and not a keyboard and mouse. And there's something about the PS2 controller that just doesn't lend itself to FPS's like the Xbox controller does. And I finished Zone of the Enders 2. I loved the game, don't get me wrong, but the last three bosses (and they come one right after the other) were totally boring fights. I enjoyed fighting Viola eight times more. At least she had some variety. Kind of. Regardless, ZOE2 was awesome.
